A Fatal Accident.

The railroad has claimed another victim,
and poor little George Saunders has been
offered up as a sacrifice to the grinding
wheels and his own imprudence. Little
George, whose home is in La Sale, had been
up to this city, visiting his brother, W. II.
Saunders, and with some other boys was
playing near the Rock Island crossing at
Columbus street on Thursday afternoon.
Being somewhat venturesome, he leaped on
board freight car, which was attached to a
train switching on the side track, and when
No. 90 came along he slipped from the car he
was on and fell under the wheels of one Of
the center cars. The great iron circles threw
him outward, and in their next revolution
caught him at the neck, nearly severing his
head from his shoulders. He was picked up
stone dead, and carried into the express house
where sympsthizing bystanders brought q
cot to lay his lifeless form upon. Upon ex
animation, it was found that his throat was
cut, neck broken, left side of head crushed
in, the right arm broken, and the left foot
crushed; truly he was a veritable mass OF
bruises. The coroner was telephoned al
once, and deputized Judge Weeks, who held
an inquest, the jury bringing in verdict in
accordance with the facts. lie was then
taken to the home of his brother, and later
removed to La Sale for burial The accident
which resulted directly from the illegal
practice Of boys Of climbing on cars while
switching, may brighten the lads for time
but there is only one way to stop the prac
tice, and that is for the train men to use
"strap oil' or make systematic practices
for few weeks of having every boy seen OIL
cars duly fined by police court.
